Call to action

my HYSA recommendations are in my bio.

On-screen text

SIX FIGURES IS NOW LOWER MIDDLE CLASS. If your parents made $100k in the 90s... You'd need $235k in 2026 to have the same life. $235k is the new $100k.

Original caption

Inflation averaged ~3% per year since 1990. That doesn’t sound like much until it runs for 35 years and cuts your purchasing power nearly in half. The only ways to stay ahead of it: invest in assets that grow faster than inflation, negotiate raises tied to CPI, and stop keeping large amounts of cash sitting idle. Your savings account is losing the race - my HYSA recommendations are in my bio. #inflation #PersonalFinance #moneytips
